Description

Temporary financial assistance for health and maintenance needs of eligible veterans, their spouses or widows, and their dependent children. The spouse or child must be living with the veteran, or living with the veteran at the time of his/her death. Funds can be used for food, clothing, shelter, fuel, utilities, medical expenses, and burial expenses. The fund is limited by its earnings, so it may not be able to completely meet the veteran\'s need. Must demonstrate a need; must reside in CT at the time of application and while in receipt of aid; must have honorable discharge; must have at least 90 days of service, unless discharged for a service-connected disability, or for the full extent of duty.
